Corran di puro latte del Pò superbo l'onde
E smeraldi e rubin copran le sponde
E i pargoletti amori sopra i due lieti
E fortunatti amanti spargan ghirlande e fiori
E le lor alme e i cuori leghi Himeneo
Con casti nodi e santi
Sol s'oda in si bel giorno
Fillide e Tirsi risonar intorno

English.png English translation

Currents of pure milk run from the magnificent Pò
And emeralds and rubies line the banks
And cupids above the two happy ones
And lucky lovers spread garlands and flowers
And Hymen binds their souls and hearts
With chaste and holy knots.
Such a beautiful day is filled only
With the reverberations of Phyllis and Thyrsis.
